Heya! Thanks for stopping by @mountainjewel, I saw you were also in the audience of today's PAL witness forum :-) I'm totally with you on finding more real use cases in order to make Steem more attractive to the average social media user. Currently - and that was again proven in the just mentioned forum - the focus is on development. That's totally fine, but we don't need a hundred apps more if we can't increase the active user base that uses those apps at the same time.
I think the fact that we're talking about those issues is the very first step towards new solutions :-)
Are you gonna be attending Steemfest, too?
totally agree! we need a user base to use anything the developers make - lol- can't have one without the other!
i won't be attending steemfest; i hope to one day!! Have a great time :)
